What is the difference between Zickos shells and the other acrylic shells on the market in the 70s?
Then, as today, we only use the finest materials available. We use only high grade full 6mm cast acrylic sheet material and a bonding process that makes the seam as strong, if not stronger, than the shell itself. Many of our imitators used thinner or lower grade materials in their drums, that is a sacrifice in sound and quality. Our original concept was not to make”clear” drums. It was to make drums and hardware that resonated in harmony with the heads. Ask anyone who ever played our drums and you’ll soon discover that there’s more to our drums than just color (or lack of color as the case may be).
